Chapter 40 On Dowry Torrents and Undercurrents

"The old lady picked a lantern that is more than enough every year. I don't know what is written on the note?" Guiyuan said with a smile when she saw the girl bringing the lantern.

Ruoxi looked up when she heard the words, and saw Lemon took the lantern, unfolded the note on it and read it, "Whoever wins this lantern will have a long life, everyone toasts together!"

"Mother's fortune is long!" The elder stood up first, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, and everyone hurriedly followed.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear when she got a good omen, "Hurry up and pick up the lanterns, and let me see what they are all about."

The old man and the others chose one respectively, but it was just a self-punishment for a cup and a couplet or something.

"Don't sit here so old-fashioned, go to the garden and watch the lights while picking slowly." The old lady likes to see the next generation be more casual, she smiled and said to Ruoxi and the others.

In fact, Han Hao couldn’t sit still for a long time. Originally, he had made an appointment with his friends to go to Dazhong Street to watch the lanterns at night, but who knew that there was also some kind of lantern festival in the mansion. The old lady and the master were all very interested, so he had to be patient. Dare to sneak out.Now after hearing what the old lady said, he hurriedly got up and went.Just now he caught a glimpse of some pretty girls in the garden, so he happened to go over to have a look.

He pretended to be admiring the lanterns, but his eyes slipped on the faces and bodies of the girls.A graceful figure flashed in front of his eyes, and he was heading towards the rockery, so he hurriedly chased after him.

"I just said that the lanterns here are beautiful! Look at this Chang'e flying to the moon, but it's a pity that you can only look at it and can't take it. I don't know which one the girl has fallen in love with. I just want to take it back!" Qingyu stood beside the lantern , a moment of joy, a moment of disappointment, and a moment of anticipation.

"If you like Master, I'll give it to you!" Qingyu was shocked when she heard a man's voice.Turning around, he saw Er Ye standing behind him.

She hastily took a step back and bowed her head in salute, "I don't know that the second master is behind, please forgive me!"

"Why are you so nervous? Can I still eat you?" Han Hao saw that there was no one around, and his tone became frivolous.

Qingyu frowned when she heard the words, and replied with a straight face: "Second master slowly watching the lamp, the servant girl went forward." After saying that, she turned around and left.

This Han Hao is the eldest son of the second room. He wanted to be as good as the wind and the rain as he was young. How has he ever been treated like this by a girl?He was a little annoyed immediately, but when he saw the back of Qingyu's slender waist and hips, his anger disappeared inexplicably.

"There are so many people in front of you, why don't you accompany me to watch the lanterns here." He chased after Qingyu with two big strides, and stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist.

"Ugh! Second Master, please respect yourself!" Qingyu bit her lip and eyes furious, and struggled to break free, "If Second Master doesn't let go of your servant, I will call someone!"

Seeing Qingyu's inviolable and stubborn appearance, he fell in love with her even more, "Don't shout, I want you to be my concubine!" As he spoke, his mouth full of alcohol came closer.

Qingyu was ashamed and fussy, unable to push away his body, she stomped on his foot in desperation.

"Ouch!" He jumped up in pain, pointing at Qingyu angrily, "You, you..."

"Qingyu, where are you?" Suddenly, Lu'e's voice came from not far away, Qingyu hurriedly agreed, and her heart was relieved.

Han Hao didn't dare to be presumptuous when he saw that someone was looking for him, so he gave Qingyu a hard look and slipped away while the person approached.

"You came too timely!" Qingyu said with a sigh of relief when she saw Lue patted her chest, "Weren't you behind me just now? Why did you disappear when you turned around?"

"Let you dress up beautifully, no wonder you will attract bees and butterflies!" Seeing that the others were far away, Lue said in a low voice.

Qingyu's eyes flashed when she heard the words, "You saw it just now? Then why did you come out?"

"I'm afraid that coming out early will ruin his good deeds. After all, being the second master's aunt is a blessing that no one else can ask for!" Lue replied with a light smile.

"Who wants this blessing? He deserves it too!" Qingyu took a sip, stretched out her hand and twisted Lue's waist, "So you hid and peeked, and you insisted on waiting for me to be..."

"We are sisters, why would I watch you being bullied? But you and I are girls after all, it's not good to directly smash and make the second master angry. If the second master didn't let go just now, I'm going to shout too!" Lue laughed hurriedly She turned back, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.If she understood correctly, just now Qingyu said "he is also worthy", which means that Qingyu does not dislike being a concubine, the key is who is that person!Could it be that Aunt Zhao's experience can't be understood by her?

Ruoxi was afraid of the cold and didn't like to move, so she ordered Guiyuan to go down and pick out any lanterns.Guiyuan went down as ordered, and met Qingyu and Lue looking at a lantern of Chang'e flying to the moon.Seeing that the lantern looked exquisite and beautiful, she took it off and carried it back.

The third girl came back after choosing the lantern, and the eldest lady smiled and asked, "Look at what is written on the note below?"

"Whoever gets this lantern will marry a good son-in-law!" Lemon took down the note and read.

The third girl blushed immediately, lowered her head and said, "If elder brother and others choose this lantern, how can we explain it? It can be seen that it doesn't work." After saying that, she walked out of the corridor shyly, pretending to go to the garden to enjoy the lantern.

Seeing this, the old lady laughed, tilted her head and said to the eldest lady: "This girl is a bit lucky, but it's a pity that it took a long time! The He family just wanted to marry her in the house the year before last, but the old lady died of a sudden illness. In May of this year, the young master of the He family will be filial piety. It's full, they should get married early, the third girl is already seventeen."

"The old lady is very right, but there is no reason for our girl's family to mention this matter first!" The eldest lady replied with a smile: "The He family has already asked someone to hand over the message, and they are even more anxious! It is said that it is as soon as February The door is ready for the wedding, and we will marry the third girl on the eighth day of May. A few days ago, I asked how the marriage of the third younger sibling, the eighth girl, was arranged. Although Kilometer will give her a dowry according to the rules, but I am her stepmother, so I have to accompany her. Things. It's a pity that the third sibling hasn't sorted out the dowry list yet, so I didn't see it!"

The old lady frowned when she heard the words, and glanced at the third wife, "Why haven't you sorted out the dowry list at this time? There are precedents for everything, just follow the rules."

"Go back to the old lady, I have sorted it out yesterday, and I am going to show it to you." The third wife hurriedly replied, "I discussed it with the master. After all, the eighth girl is married to the Marquis Mansion, and the dowry is too pleasant to damage Han. The face of the government. So I took out two sets of gold face masks from my dowry, and the master also raised 1000 taels of silver from a friend to add in. I have not had time to report this matter to you in the future, and I don’t know if it is done properly. .”

"Since the share from the kilometer is done according to the rules, it is your parents' wish that you and the third child buy another one! As a grandmother, I can't empty-handed. I will ask Lemon to take 2000 taels of silver to add to the box for the eighth girl. . " As she spoke, the old lady glanced at the eldest lady, "All the girls have a share, and I won't favor one over another!"
